nvtop is an ncurses-based GPU process monitor, similar to htop but for GPUs. It displays real-time GPU utilization, memory usage, temperature, and running processes.The tool supports a wide range of accelerators: NVIDIA (Kepler and newer, proprietary driver), AMD (amdgpu, kernel 5.14+), Intel (i915/Xe, kernel 5.19+), Qualcomm Adreno (msm, kernel 6.0+), Apple Silicon (M1/M2, experimental), Broadcom VideoCore on the Raspberry Pi, Rockchip NPUs, Huawei Ascend, MetaX and Enflame cards.

CAVEATS

NVIDIA needs driver 410+. AMD needs ROCm. Intel needs i915 driver. Feature support varies by GPU vendor.

HISTORY

nvtop was created by Maxime Schmitt to provide an htop-like experience for GPU monitoring. It started with NVIDIA support and later added AMD and Intel GPU support.
